Where: THE BLANC, 15 E 40th St, 12th Floor, New York, NY 10016
Overview
The Artiver AI Art Awards Ceremony 2025 took place from October 31 to November 2, 2025, on the 12th floor of THE BLANC, near Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan, New York.
Curated by Eunice Chen, the three-day program brought together international artists, designers, and researchers working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and contemporary visual culture.
Through the exhibition, performance, a panel talk, and an experimental film screening, the ceremony explored how human–AI collaboration is reshaping creative practices and the aesthetics of the digital era.
Exhibition and Awards Presentation
This year’s edition presented ten award-winning projects selected from over 300 submissions across more than 15 countries, including the United States, China, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Brazil, Singapore, and South Korea.
The exhibition featured a diverse range of static and motion-based works, exploring the breadth of AI aesthetics—from data-driven abstraction to hyperrealism and speculative narratives. It demonstrated how artificial intelligence has moved beyond mere computation to act as a creative and perceptual agent, capable of stretching the limits of artistic imagination and revealing the previously unseen.
Award Winners 2025:
Fukai Chan, Victoria Galperina, Pei-En Huang, Min-Yen Yu, Po-Yu Lin, Qihan Jiang, Beatrice Mai, Zongshuai Zhang, Haoren Zhong, Orkhan Mammadov, Minami Matsumoto, Kua Kee Seng, Chao-Hsien Tseng, James Xu, Ziyu Liu.
The ceremony concluded with the presentation of Artiver Certificates and Trophies, and the announcement of a special public showcase on the Times Square billboards on November 6th and 7th, extending the exhibition into New York’s urban landscape.
Highlights
October 31 — Opening Reception (6–8 PM)
The opening featured a live AI-driven performance by Vasilii Miroliubov, Vadim Mirgorodskii, and Alexey Roslevich, transforming generative sound and algorithmic composition into immersive, kinetic acts of co-creation between installation and performer.
November 1 — Panel Talk & Experimental Film Screening (2–6 PM)
The panel “Human–AI Agents” gathered artists and technologists to discuss how AI tools inform new artistic methodologies and how creators navigate hybrid authorship in algorithmic environments.
Winners Showcase
Presentations by award-winning artists provided an in-depth look into their creative processes and artistic philosophies. Victoria Galperina shared insights into After the Rain, discussing how generative
AI techniques enabled her to create hyperrealistic imagery imbued with emotional tension. Minami Matsumoto presented Coral Journey, outlining the conceptual framework drawn from her vivid underwater-inspired personal experiences and the use of AI to simulate organic ecosystems. Beatrice Mai showcased Round Table, examining the collaborative dynamics of family, the male gaze, and patriotism within Asian cultural contexts. Meanwhile, Ziyu Liu’s Echo explored the interplay between nostalgia, memory, personal growth, and visual storytelling. Each artist offered a distinct perspective on workflow, conceptual development, and the evolution of their artistic practice within the context of AI.
AI Agents & Community Insights
Presentations by Flora AI and UAAD (Underground Art and Design) offered broader perspectives on how collective AI workflows and community-driven platforms are shaping contemporary art production. Flora AI highlighted the importance of open-source AI frameworks in fostering design collaborations, while UAAD discussed the challenges and opportunities of integrating AI into decentralized creative networks within the art community, emphasizing ethical considerations, accessibility, and emerging collaborative practices.
The day concluded with the screening of the experimental film TranceOrganism, a daring exploration of post-human reorganization. The film envisions a decentralized, fluid, and non-hierarchical biotic entity, where body and consciousness merge in a state of continuous transformation. The screening featured the works: OmniTrans.cam by Yongqi Li, Editorial by Riccardo Fusetti, Were We Made of Swirls? by Cass Yao, Elon Simulator by DJ Kim, and Invisible Women by OHuo Studio, each contributing distinct visual and conceptual approaches. Following the screening, a Q&A session with Cass Yao, DJ Kim, and Song Lu explored their creative inspirations, the integration of AI technologies into experimental filmmaking, and reflections on future directions in AI-driven artistic practice.
November 2 — Closing Reception (3–5 PM)
The ceremony concluded with an informal gathering, fostering dialogue among participating artists on the evolving landscape of AI art and curatorial practice.
Reflection
The Artiver AI Art Awards Ceremony 2025 showcased the potential and possibility of human–AI collaboration through an interdisciplinary lens. The exhibition and forum not only focused on technological innovation but also examined the social and cultural meanings of “intelligence” within artistic contexts. As an annual ceremony, it offered a vital perspective on the evolving AI art ecosystem and contemporary curatorial practice, fostering greater support for emerging AI-driven artists.
